Application


  • Catalyst- and metal-free C(sp2)–H bond selenylation of (N-hetero)-arenes using diselenides and trichloroisocyanuric acid at room temperature: An eco-friendly approach for the C(sp2)–H bond selenylation of imidazopyridines and other N-heteroarenes as well as simple arenes at ambient temperatures (JSS Neto et al., 2023).

  • Organic impurity profiling of 3, 4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) synthesised from helional: This paper explores the use of trichloroisocyanuric acid in the oxidative rearrangement reaction for synthesizing MDA, presenting an alternative oxidizing agent approach (AL Mercieca et al., 2023).

  • Convenient synthesis of 2-chloro-3-substituted quinoxalines by visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of ortho-diisocyanoarenes with sulfinic acids: This research discusses the use of trichloroisocyanuric acid as a Cl-source in visible-light-induced reactions, enhancing the synthesis process (P Natarajan et al., 2024).

  • Synergy between UV light and trichloroisocyanuric acid on methylisothiazolinone degradation: The study presents an advanced oxidation process using ultraviolet and trichloroisocyanuric acid for the degradation of MIT, detailing performance, kinetics, and pathways (Z Chai et al., 2023).
